This dietitian mom can’t decide if I love the eggs or the chocolate in this more chocolate pudding lunchbox! I promise you won’t detect a hint of egg smell or taste – just a creamy, pointy pudding that looks like a treat, but packs in protein and nutrients. This recipe is my new favorite way to use hard-boiled eggs. When I boil eggs for snacking or meal prep, I always throw a few extra in the pot so I can whip up this pudding in 7 minutes or less. It’s the one lunch container I can count on to come…

This first paper on the collective experience of more than 1,800 trial patients found that the combination of ibuprofen and acetaminophen provided better pain relief than hydrocodone with acetaminophen for the first two days after surgery and greater satisfaction in the postoperative period. The analysis of the new subgroup, published in JAMA Network Opendemonstrated that the results were maintained for both male and female patients. We…
There’s a scene in the great movie, “Independence Day” (1996, never made a sequel) where Randy Quaid says, “I was saying that. Wasn’t I?” He’s been trying to inform people about aliens for 10 dang years. I have won him over. I’ve been encouraging men to be health advocates, and women to advocate for the men in their lives, for over 30 years. For prostate cancer, being your own advocate starts with screening. Ideally, with a baseline PSA test at age 40. Maybe even younger if you have a family history of prostate cancer or cancer in general. And then…

There’s nothing like a child’s unfiltered reaction to life-changing news.

A breakthrough treatment targeting disturbing and distressing mental images for people with psychosis could lead to a transformative intervention for a condition estimated to cost England nearly £12 billion a year. 74 percent of people with psychosis, a condition that causes people to hear voices, unfounded fears that others are harming them, also see disturbing images in their mind’s eye. These images can be the result of trauma, stress, fear of anticipated future events, and many other factors. A recent survey of over 10,000 UK adults found that imagery was the third most strongly linked factor to distrust and paranoia.…
“I walk 10,000 steps a day”, “I have an active job”, “I do a lot of work at home” – these are the answers I often hear when I ask people if they exercise.

You’re not Al Bundy, sitting…
